Chapter 3

When the doctor came out and called Kendall's last name, the whole group stood up and went over to him. At first, the doctor was surprised at how many people were there for the young boy, but then he smiled at them all softly, trying to ease the news. He could see the worried looks on each of their faces, he felt terrible for the family, but the information he had wasn't awful.
Everyone waited in an awkward tension when the silence was finally broken.

"How is he? Is he going to be okay?" Mama Knight questioned as she took a sharp intake of breath.

Another silence forms for a moment as everyone braces themselves for whatever the doctor is about to say. The doctor smiles," Mr. Knight will be okay. It's a good thing you brought him in when you did, and he seemed to have gotten worse by the time he was admitted. But, thanks to us being able to help him, he's getting better. Slowly but better, he had a nasty case of Pneumonia." The doctor finishes explaining as he sighs.

The group frowns, "Oh, how did he get that?" Mama Knight questions with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, we looked into that through some testing. It seems as if Mr. Knight was dehydrated a little from lack of not drinking water. He also was a little malnourished, and he also had told us he had been exhausted and feeling unwell lately." The doctor explains as he frowns; he then adds. "Plus, there is a bad case of it going around this time of year so that he could've caught it from anywhere." The doctor finishes as he shakes his head; it was true, this time of year was terrible for people getting sick….

"Well, we have been busy a lot at the studio, with dance rehearsals and show practices. By the time we get home, we are all usually exhausted. We have a world tour coming up, and we've been putting in more hours and preparing a lot…." Logan explains as he crosses his arms and frowns. The other two nod in agreement; he sighs. "I just didn't realize Kendall wasn't taking care of himself during all this; now that I recall it, I don't think I saw him eat much the last few days while we were on breaks." Logan frowns more, feeling bad; he should have seen the signs.

The doctor nods, "I see; that could be a lot of the cause. When the body is not properly taken care of but overworked, it is easier for the immune system to become low and any illness to get in and attack. Right now, Mr. Knight is strictly on rest. No dancing, singing, or whatever else it is you've all been doing. Right now, this is for his good, at least until he is better." The doctor finishes as everyone frowns but agrees.

"Thank you, doctor. Can we see him?" Mama Knight questions as she raises an eyebrow.

"Yes, you may." The doctor smiles at them. "However, I am sure the boy will ask, but if it is alright, I would like to keep Mr. Knight for one night in the hospital. To keep an eye on him and see if his fever breaks. If it entirely breaks by tomorrow, we can release him and let him recovery the rest of the way at home." The doctor finishes as he gestures for the group to follow him.
They all nod and follow behind him, understanding his reasonings.

It takes a little bit to get to Kendall's room, but when the group of five gets there, they are all allowed in since it's nothing too serious. The doctor leaves, telling them he'll be back soon to check-in, and the group slowly enters. Once they are in the room, they see Kendall lying in bed awake, staring into space. The room's television is on lightly in the background, and Kendall is hooked up to a heart monitor, an IV, and a few other machines to help him. He looks slightly pale still, and you can see he is tired and that his green eyes still held a feverish look to them. A nurse is next to his bed, checking his vitals; she smiles and nods when the group enters. When she is done, she writes things on a clipboard and leaves.

"Hey, Kendall buddy, how you feeling?" It was James who had asked, breaking the silence as they all gathered around the bed.

Kendall sighs and says. "O-Okay, just tired. I'm sorry about all this." Kendall states instantly, guilt showing on his face; he shifted a little to try and get more comfortable as he spoke.

Carlos says, "Dude, it's not your fault. We're all human, and everyone gets sick." Carlos smiles softly to ensure they aren't upset with him.
He adds, "We are just glad you're going to be okay. You gave us all a scare there." He finishes as he pats Kendall's shoulder gently.

"Thanks….but I should be better by tomorrow. The doctor gave me some medicine, and they have been forcing me to eat every few hours in small amounts…." Kendall groans as he lays his head back into his pillow.

"Honey, you need to eat, drink and take care of yourself, especially with all the work you're doing for Gustavo and Big Time Rush." Mama Knight says as she crosses her arms and eyes him seriously. She looks at James, Carlos, and Logan. "You all need to be doing that. It's for your health! You can't perform if you're here in the hospital, then what? Is it worth it to lose all you worked for and to upset your fans?" Mama Knight questions with a raised eyebrow.

Kendall sighs, "I know, momma, and I'm sorry. I've just been busy, and when I'm not busy, I'm sleeping. But that's still no excuse, and I just wanted to be my best and make sure to get things right without upsetting Gustavo or Kelly. I'm excited about the tour, so I'm just trying to make sure I'm well prepared for it." Kendall defends himself as he shakes his head.

"Dude, we know that, but your mom has a point. We all need to make sure we are eating, drinking, and being healthy." Logan states with a grin as he thinks. "In fact, I can come up with a healthy eating and exercise plan for us, and it will befit us all in the long run." Logan finishes as he looks around and finds a pen and napkin; he sits down and starts writing on the napkin while looking things up on his phone.

Katie eyes him and rolls her eyes, "Weirdo." She mumbles as she shakes her head.

James and Carlos snicker at Katie's comment while Kendall rolls his eyes. Mama Knight pats Logan on the shoulder while he zones out and does his own thing. The group goes silent for a moment, with the only sounds being the hospital background noises. Kendall eyes everyone and sighs, he shifts once more, the hospital bed's not being very comfy and the wires from the machines being in his way. He hated hospitals, but he didn't say in coming here, so he was stuck here until he could go home. The time here was agonizing. Kendall slowly felt sleep coming onto him, and he yawned.

"Get some rest, baby, and we will be here when you wake up." Mama Knight states as she kissed her son's forehead; she frowns at how warm it still is.

He nods, "Okay, but I was wondering, when can I go home, momma?" Kendall questions, almost sounding like a five-year-old; the tone of his voice made all their hearts tighten a little; they could tell he didn't want to be here, but they didn't say anything otherwise.

"Possible tomorrow if your fever breaks. Until then, get some rest." Mama Knight smiles at the blonde-haired, green-eyed boy while rubbing his hand she's holding gently.

Without another word, Kendall nods and allows his eyes to close slowly. Instantly he falls asleep, and soon the whole group hears his soft snores fill the room. Everyone stays gathered to watch over the sleeping boy making to keep quiet to wake him. As they all remained in the hospital, they just prayed that Kendall would be okay, but little did any of them know this was just the start of their sick friend's problem…
